Leverage allows traders to control a larger position in the market using borrowed funds, amplifying both potential gains and risks. It enables participation in larger trades than would be possible with just one’s own capital.
Leverage is important because it can increase trading flexibility, give access to greater market opportunities, and potentially enhance returns. However, it also increases risk, making risk management essential when using leverage.
Alaric Securities offers customisable leverage:
Margin interest at Alaric Securities is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), plus a markup. It is applied daily to open long or short positions according to the outstanding balance and prevailing rates.
Leverage involves substantial risk and is suitable only for investors who understand those risks and can actively manage their positions. Alaric Securities recommends reviewing all margin terms carefully and considering whether leverage fits your investment profile.
